What does it all mean?

  • America loves animals -- 38 states favored a film with an animal protagonist
  • 17 states voted for "The Lion King," making it America's favorite Disney classic
  • "Dumbo" is New York's favorite, which was known for the elephant walk through Manhattan, a tradition that lasted over 30 years. 
  • Vermont's favorite is 101 Dalmatians, possibly because nearly 71 percent of Vermont households own a pet. 
  • Alaska has the most wilderness out of any state, which makes sense since it's favorite is Bambi
  • The trippiest Disney classic movie, Alice in Wonderland, is a big deal in New Mexico, which happens to be the only state where you can legally grow magic mushrooms, or psilocybin-containing mushrooms. 
  • More than 57 percent of Hawaiian residents identify as Asian American, so it's no surprise that Mulan is a favorite of the Aloha State. 
  • Utah, with the youngest average population in the United States, had a 14-way tie for its top Disney classic.
